From the very beginning. When it finally happened, I freaked out. Go figure.

Yes, I've experienced this. Many years ago, I dated a woman who would literally bring me a whole cake, pie, or some other rich food product everytime she came over ( which was twice a week).She was watching her weight like a hawk. Not surprisingly, I began to blow up and I'm very short for a guy so it was very evident.

It certainly takes time to get used to being seen as a larger person. Some family members will say " He's got a dad bod" others will say, I like the weight on you. It looks good. Some people will give you diet advice.

I'm 5'3 and in spite of the fact that my BMI is only 25, I look as though my BMI is much higher. Being that I'm short, I easily round out with each pound.

I'm certain that similar questions have been raised on this forum. Do most female feeders and FA's shy away from discussing their preferences even online? I can imagine that some of those who come to acknowledge these preferences to themselves are afraid to voice them in the face of a perceived stigma.
Many years ago, a woman who I had dated for a couple of years would always bring a cake or something sweet for me saying that she was worried that I wasn't getting enough to eat.

Rice Crispy Treats or Licorice. I can go through a bag of Licorice in an hour. I'm literally obsessive with Rice Crispy Treats.

Being around heavier people has caused me to think in similar terms. As a result, I'm twenty five pounds heavier than I was a couple of years ago. I don't have any plans of losing it at this time.

When I was much younger, I was fascinated by being fat. I actually wanted to be fat like some of the other people who were my age.
